As paper proposals and registrations are processed and the organizing committee continue to work on the logistical and program arrangements, we wanted to share with you our excitement and gratitude at just how richly diverse the gathering in April 2012 is going to be.

Those of you participating will be joining with partners in conversation from an incredibly wide and exciting range of backgrounds: and this in ecclesial terms, in terms of faith community, in terms of specialism and, of course, in terms of national and cultural diversity.

The list of the nations represented among participants to date (and counting…) includes: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brasil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Cuba, the Czech Republic, England, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Greece, Kenya, Korea, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Norway, Palestine, Philippines, Poland, Puerto Rico, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, the United States, and Vietnam.
